Im 7 weeks and my MIL keeps telling me dates are good for pregnancy, but I also heard somewhere they generate heat and not safe early on. Now im confused. Can I have khajoor in first trimester or should I wait? Anyone know?
Yes u can, but keep it to 1-2 dates a day. When I had terrible morning sickness and couldn't eat anything, dates gave me quick energy. Just don't overeat them as they are warm for the body.
Kha sakte ho, but limit it to 1 or 2. Don't go eating a whole handful thinking it is healthy. It has natural sugars and warmth, so moderation is key in early months.
I totally understand how scary it is to eat anything in the first few weeks, we doubt everything! But don't worry, 1-2 dates are absolutely fine and actually very good for your sweet little baby's growth. Just take it easy and enjoy this beautiful phase.
Dates are excellent for natural iron and fiber, ho na? Just don't eat too many because they can increase body heat. 1 or 2 sweet dates daily is more than enough for the first trimester!
My mother-in-law advised me to avoid them in the first trimester saying they produce "heat". But my doctor told me that eating 1 or 2 dates daily is completely safe and helps with constipation. I trusted my doctor and had them without any issues.
Definitely eat them, they are a very cheap and great source of iron and fiber compared to those expensive organic berries. Just stick to a small quantity like 2 per day. It keeps constipation away and saves you money on expensive laxatives too!
Yes dear, you can eat them. My mother used to deseed and soak 2 dates in warm milk for me every morning. It felt so soothing and kept my energy levels up during those early tired days.
Oh yes! I used to stuff dates with peanut butter as a quick sweet snack in my first trimester. They are great for energy and naturally sweet, just limit it to 2 a day so it doesn't cause too much body heat.
In my first trimester, I felt so scared of eating anything that elders said was "hot" like dates or papaya. But when I actually tried having just one date a day, it helped so much with my low energy. It is completely safe if you don't overdo it.
Yes, they are safe and rich in iron. But since I had thyroid and sugar issues, my doctor kept a close watch on my diet and advised only 1 date a day. Do discuss your daily diet with your gynac during your routine checkups.
